The City of Red Deer’s Kick it to the Curb is returning this weekend from May 15th to 16th.  Red Deer residents are encouraged to leave their unwanted or unused items on the curb to allow someone else to reuse the item. 

“Residents love the Kick it to the Curb program and we are happy to bring it back again for 2021,” said Janet Whitesell, Waste Management Superintendent. “Residents need to remember to follow all public heath restrictions when participating in Kick it to the Curb, especially not participating if any member of the household is feeling ill.”

Items should be clearly marked ‘free’ in order avoid confusion. Participants are encouraged to clean the items before placing them and maintain a two meter distance from anyone outside of your household. 

Waskasoo Environmental Education Society will be offering their Trash to Treasure Swap Meet. Anyone who would rather not put small, unwanted items on their curb or whose home doesn’t have a curb can bring their items to Kerry Wood Nature Centre. The Trash to Treasure Swap Meet will be held the same six weekends throughout the year.

The next Kick it to the Curbs will be held on these dates:

  • June 19-20
  • July 17-18
  • August 21-22
  • September 18-19
  • October 16-17
